"USA this", "China that" - the news is covered with journalists comparing countries, but do you know which countries are actually winning? What does ‘winning’ even mean?

The truth is, there isn’t a straightforward answer to which country is ‘winning’ because there are all sorts of metrics you can compare them by: how much money they make, how happy their population is etc. That’s why we’ve developed this tool, which allows you to see the top 10 countries that are winning for a specific metric.

But we’re gonna make you work for it! To stop you from saying “well, everyone knows that” when you get the answers, you’ll have to play a quiz first to test your knowledge. First, select the metrics you want to look at.

Not sure what a metric means? We've included some nifty definitions here.

Now the test! For your selected metric, which 5 countries do you think make it to the top 10 out of all the countries in the world? We’ll tell you which ones you got right/wrong, and you can keep guessing until you’re satisfied with your answers. Once you’re tired of playing, click ‘Skip to the results’ to find out the right answers.
